44. Coincidence
As the Gem Conference approached, it was obvious that the guards of the Emerald City were much tighter.
The roads were filled not only with city guards and police, but also with patrolling lions and Shark boats shuttling back and forth across the river.
Noble District, Shenyu Gym.
This dojo is a kendo gym that has existed for a hundred years, passed down from the great swordsman Shen Yu more than 100 years ago, and his self-created Shen Yu Ichi-ryu was famous in that era, and finally he settled in the city of Fei no Kuni, and this dojo was founded by him at that time.
It's a pity that the Shenyu family, which has the status of nobility, has never had a person who can inherit the mantle in these years, and decades ago, the Shenyu family at that time stood in the wrong position and declined.
So far, only this one gym can barely cover its face.
The current owner of the Shen Yu Gym is Shen Yu Tong, a man in his thirties who looks a little yin, in fact, Shen Yu itself is just a name and not a surname, but since Shen Yu has descendants, it has been passed down with his name.
In this world, many people just have a name but no surname, such as Admiral Kong, Vice Admiral Crane, former Admiral Zefa, etc. are all names, and Allen has not studied what is going on.
Shenyu Gym, Alan stepped into this place in the name of exchanging swordsmanship.
These days, he is not idle, and during the day he travels throughout the city of Fei under the pretext of challenging various sword masters. At night, sometimes dressed up as pirates wandering around the gathering points of pirates - Rosinandi's Silent Fruit plays a big role in this process.
The investigation into the Faceling Pirates has made no progress, but Allen's reputation has already spread in the Emerald City, and many people know about a young man challenging the various kendo gyms.
When Eren came to the Shenyu Gym, it had already attracted a lot of people, and the Shenyu Gym also knew about Allen's arrival.
After entering this gym, Alan ignored the hostile gazes of many young people towards him, and his eyes were all focused on an unexpected person.
Alan grinned, revealing his neat eight teeth: "Commander Breed, what a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a long time since I said goodbye last time, I didn't expect to meet you here." β
Brad also showed a very gentlemanly smile, even if he seemed to be standing on the side of the Shenyu Gym, he did not have the same hostile attitude towards Allen as the rest of the Gym.
"This shows that fate is always unpredictable, and it is not good to say when something unexpected will appear."
Brad paused before saying, "However, your name has often sounded in my ears during this time, and I expected it well, you are indeed a young man who has walked a long way in the way of the sword." β
Alan shook his head: "No, my swordsmanship level is actually far behind, so I have to find one dojo after another to verify myself and get improved." β
He is telling the truth, Allen's own talent is mainly in his mind, in how to use his various advantages to fight, which makes his various abilities appear to be higher than what he actually masters.
In fact, he knows that his physical talent is average, and his swordsmanship talent is also average, and the reason why he has his current level is nothing more than that his own level is far beyond ordinary people after opening the hanging.
Pure swordsmanship, he was completely abused when compared to Gion, and even compared to the future lieutenant generals in the new barracks, it was also inferior.
The strength of a person's swordsmanship depends not only on how mentally he has mastered swordsmanship, but also on his development of his own body, the increase of domineering, etc., otherwise it is difficult to reach the top of the world with swordsmanship alone.
But apparently the others don't see it that way, they just think Alan is pretending to be a beep.
Many young people from the Shenyu Gym even began to make noise, and some even challenged him first.
It's really interesting this time, I was thinking about how I could get in touch with Braid, is there a better chance than now?
Alan didn't pay attention to the others, he looked at Brad who showed a wry smile, and said: "I know a gentleman named Lu Xun who once said that it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and it is better to meet by chance." Since we met by such a coincidence, why don't I ask Commander Braid for advice, I heard that Mr. Brad is a master of kendo. β
Shenyu Tongyin's face changed a little: "Who are you, you are also worthy of challenging Commander Braid, since you are here to my Shenyu Dao Pavilion, your challenge will be my next." β
Braid waved his hand to stop Shen Yutong, and still smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to meet by chance, it's really a wonderful saying, since it's so fateful, if it seems a little inappropriate to reject you again, then let's discuss swordsmanship with each other, okay?" β
"Okay, please!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the dojo, Alan took off the [Hotaru] and handed it to Roxinandi, and Brad also handed his saber to Kami Yutong, and then the two of them each held a brand new bamboo knife.
Holding the knife in both hands, Alan looked at Brad, who was about the same height as him, and said, "My swordsmanship is more focused on actual combat, please be careful." β
Allen's original swordsmanship was not systematic, and he relied on his own blind practice, of course, they were all moves that were convenient for killing, and after he entered the navy, he was integrated, and the swordsmanship in the key navy was basically honed on the battlefield.
It looks very murderous.
As the words fell, he stepped forward, and the bamboo knife in his hand stabbed out diagonally, heading straight for Braid's throat.
Syllable!
The front ends of the two bamboo knives collided together, and Brad's swordsmanship was really exquisite, and he blocked Allen's attack with a good knock.
Putting away the knife, his feet moved, his body did not retreat but advanced, Alan had already bullied Brad two steps in front of him, and the bamboo knife in his hand followed the strength of his body forward, and slashed up between his legs.
γReverse robeγ
It's a weird reverse robe, because Eren hid the intention of this attack with the help of his rushing body, and it was difficult to judge his angle and intention before making a move, fast and hidden.
But Brad's bamboo knife pressed down, just colliding with the bamboo knife in his hand.
Alan is not discouraged at all, his swordsmanship is very similar to a certain Miyamoto Sword Master in his previous life, he chooses to overwhelm people with force, and uses his strong physical fitness to make his moves faster and more powerful.
It's not subtle.
The footsteps of the two moved very fast, and soon there was only the sound of 'snapping' when the bamboo knives were handed over on the whole field.
Until the bamboo knives of the two collided again again, and they were not even a step away from each other, and their eyes were intertwined.
"Sure enough, it's a murderous move." Brad exclaimed.
Alan replied, "Commander Brad's swordsmanship is even more sophisticated. β
Boom!
The bamboo knives in the hands of the two exploded, countless sawdust flew and fell all over the sky, and the bodies of the two were also stained a little, and even a little blood stained the two.
Alan turned and walked out, followed by Rosinandi.
The corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing an inexplicable expression: "Thank you for your advice, this battle was very enjoyable, and I hope there is still a chance to communicate with Commander Brad." β
